Maisie Williams joins the cast of Aardman’s Early Man

It feels like forever since we were last treated to a film from claymation whizz’s Aardman. Thankfully, the Bristol-based studio are returning to the filmmaking fold with Early Man, a caveman comedy starring the vocal talents of Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and now Maisie Williams, who confirmed the news via her Twitter page.

Even more excitingly, it’s being directed by Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, whose last feature film was 2005’s The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Set in prehistoric times, Early Man follows the adventures of a plucky caveman (Redmayne) who must unite his tribe in order to defeat a powerful enemy. Williams will play Goona, a feisty rebel who befriends our hero.

Although the film isn’t due out until 2018, Aardman announced that production was underway care of a typically charming piece of promo (see below) featuring two of the film’s stars.
